HR 7559 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to deny deduction for outsourcing payments.

HR 7559 would deny U.S. businesses a federal income tax deduction for payments made to foreign companies or individuals for labor or services primarily benefiting U.S. consumers. Specifically, it targets payments like fees, royalties, or service charges to foreign entities when the labor or services directly support consumers in the United States. The bill defines "outsourcing payments" broadly, including cases where services partially benefit foreign consumers, with the deductible portion calculated based on U.S.-focused service share. This rule applies to payments made after December 31, 2025, affecting businesses that outsource work to foreign providers for U.S. markets.
